Hard to know what pitch to prepare for the next game, but both of these so far have been slow and low. Probably deliberately so.
Makes Archers performance all the more impressive because his achievements here have been on a dead surface.
Problem for England is we got smashed in Australia on bouncier pitches due to Aussies army of tall 87mph bowlers and Archer is a 1 off in this team.
This isn't the first Lords pitch to die like this though. If there was time I would back Australia to win the game. On pitches like this Root has to trust in his spinner.
Needs to be a green seamer next up or a hard bouncy pitch because England now need to start getting a result pitch.
